Opportunity Summary:
The Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 11HQPA0001) is a discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Geological Survey under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) for the 2011 program year. It invites proposals for research projects that strengthen the nation s ability to understand earthquakes, anticipate their impacts, and reduce losses. The central goal is practical earthquake loss reduction, meaning the research is expected to produce knowledge, tools, data, or other usable products that can be applied by both public sector organizations (such as government agencies and emergency management offices) and private sector stakeholders (such as engineers, utilities, insurers, and building owners). The opportunity emphasizes research on earthquake occurrence and earthquake effects, tying scientific investigation to real world outcomes like safer buildings, better planning, improved risk models, and more effective preparedness and response.
This opportunity is categorized as a grant in the Natural Resources funding activity area and is listed under CFDA 15.807, Earthquake Hazards Research Grants. The posting date was March 23, 2010, with a creation date of April 6, 2010. The original application deadline was May 13, 2010, and the current closing date was extended to May 14, 2010. The archive date is June 12, 2010, which indicates the window for submitting applications has closed and the announcement has been formally archived. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as 0 in the summary data, which typically means specific funding limits were not captured in the high level record and applicants would need to consult the full announcement text for budget guidance, anticipated award sizes, or any constraints on project costs and duration.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is broadly open to any type of applicant entity, as long as the applicant meets any additional eligibility conditions that may be spelled out in the full announcement under an Additional Information on Eligibility section. In practical terms, this kind of open eligibility often allows participation from universities, nonprofit research organizations, private firms, state and local governments, tribal governments, and other qualified institutions, depending on the detailed program rules. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, though voluntary commitments or leveraged resources may still be possible depending on program preferences described in the full solicitation.
Administratively, the agency listed is the Geological Survey (USGS). For applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact provided is Margaret Eastman, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 703 648 7366. This contact point is intended to support access and process related questions tied to the announcement, especially where applicants cannot retrieve the full opportunity materials online.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a research funding call meant to advance NEHRP s mission by supporting studies that improve understanding of where and how earthquakes occur and what their consequences are, with an emphasis on deliverables that translate into reduced earthquake losses. That can include research outputs such as improved hazard characterization, better models of ground shaking and related hazards, refined assessments of vulnerability and risk, datasets and methods that inform building codes and engineering practice, and other products that decision makers and practitioners can use to reduce deaths, injuries, property damage, and economic disruption from earthquakes.
